Tape Diagrams Sean VanHatten svanhatten@e2ccb.org Tracey Simchick tsimchick@e2ccb.org Increasing student understanding through visual representation
Morning Session: Progression of Tape Diagrams • Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division & Fractions LUNCH: 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Afternoon Session: Exploring Tape Diagrams within the Modules ** Norms of Effective Collaboration **
Learning Targets • I understand how mathematical modeling (tape diagrams) builds coherence, perseverance, and reasoning abilities in students • I understand how using tape diagrams shift students to be more independent learners • I can model problems that demonstrates the progression of mathematical modeling throughout the K-5 modules
Opening Exercise … Directions: Solve the problem below using a tape diagram. 88 children attended swim camp. An equal number of boys and girls attended swim camp. One-third of the boys and three-sevenths of girls wore goggles. If 34 students wore goggles, how many girls wore goggles?
Mathematical Shifts Fluency + Deep Understanding + Application + Dual Intensity = RIGOR
What are tape diagrams? • A “thinking tool” that allows students to visually represent a mathematical problem and transform the words into an appropriate numerical operation • A tool that spans different grade levels
Why use tape diagrams? Modeling vs. Conventional Methods • A picture (or diagram) is worth a thousand words • Children find equations and abstract calculations difficult to understand. Tape diagrams help to convert the numbers in a problem into pictorial images • Allows students to comprehend and convert problem situations into relevant mathematical expressions (number sentences) and solve them • Bridges the learning from primary to secondary (arithmetic method to algebraic method)
Making the connection … 9 + 6= 15
Application Problem solving requires studentsto apply the 8 Mathematical Practices http://commoncoretools.me/2011/03/10/structuring-the-mathematical-practices/
Background Information • Diagnostic tests on basic mathematics skills were administered to a sample of more than 17,000 Primary 1 – 4 students • These tests revealed: • that more than 50% of Primary 3 and 4 students performed poorly on items that tested division • 87% of the Primary 2 – 4 students could solve problems when key words (“altogether” or “left”) were given, but only 46% could solve problems without key words • Singapore made revisions in the 1980’s and 1990’s to combat this problem – The Mathematics Framework and the Model Method The Singapore Model Method, Ministry of Education, Singapore, 2009
Progression of Tape Diagrams • Students begin by drawing pictorial models • Evolves into using bars to represent quantities • Enables students to become more comfortable using letter symbols to represent quantities later at the secondary level (Algebra) 15 ? 7
Foundation for tape diagrams:The Comparison Model – Arrays (K/Grade 1) • Students are asked to match the dogs and cats one to one and compare their numbers. Example: There are 6 dogs. There are as many dogs as cats. Show how many cats there would be.
The Comparison Model – Grade 1 • There are 2 more dogs than cats. If there are 6 dogs, how many cats are there? There are 6 dogs. There are 2 more dogs than cats. The difference between the two numbers is 2. There are 4 cats.
First Basic Problem Type • Part – Part – Whole Part + Part = Whole Whole - Part = Part 8 = 3 + 5 8 = 5 + 3 3 + 5 = 8 5 + 3 = 8 8 – 3 = 5 8 – 5 = 3 5 = 8 – 3 3 = 8 – 5 Number Bond
The Comparison Model – Grade 2 • Students may draw a pictorial model to represent the problem situation. Example:
Part-Whole Model – Grade 2 Ben has 6 toy cars. Stacey has 8 toy cars. How many toy cars do they have altogether? • 6 + 8 = 14 They have 14 toy cars altogether.
Forms of a Tape Diagram • Part-Whole Model • Also known as the ‘part-part-whole’ model, shows the various parts which make up a whole • Comparison Model • Shows the relationship between two quantities when they are compared
Part-Whole Model Addition & Subtraction Part + Part = Whole Whole – Part = Part
Part-Whole Model Addition & Subtraction Variation #1: Given 2 parts, find the whole. Ben has 6 toy cars. Stacey has 8 toy cars. How many toy cars do theyhave altogether? 6 + 8 = 14 They have 14 toy cars altogether.
Part-Whole ModelAddition & Subtraction Variation #2: Given the whole and a part, find the other part. 174 children went to summer camp. If there were 93 boys, how many girls were there? 174 – 93 = 81 There were 81 girls.
Example #1 Shannon has 5 candy bars. Her friend, Meghan,brings her 4 more candy bars. How many candy bars does Shannon have now?
Example #2 Chris has 16 matchbox cars. Mark brings him 4 more matchbox cars. How many matchbox cars does Chris have now?
Example #3 Calebbrought 4 pieces of watermelon to a picnic. After Justin brings him some more pieces of watermelon, he has 9 pieces. How many pieces of watermelon did Justin bring Caleb?
The Comparison Model There are 6 dogs. There are 2 more dogs than cats. The difference between the two numbers is 2. There are 4 cats.
The Comparison Model Addition & Subtraction larger quantity – smaller quantity = difference smaller quantity + difference = larger quantity
Example #4 Tracy had 328 Jolly Ranchers. She gave 132 Jolly Ranchersto her friend. How many Jolly Ranchersdoes Tracy have now?
Example #5 Anthony has 5 baseball cards. Jeff has 2 more cards than Anthony. How many baseball cards do Anthony and Jeff have altogether?
Part-Whole Model Multiplication & Division one part x number of parts = whole whole ÷ number of parts = one part whole ÷ one part = number of parts
Part-Whole Model Multiplication & Division Variation #1: Given the number of parts and one part, find the whole. 5 children shared a bag of candy bars equally. Each child got 6 candy bars. How many candy bars were inside the bag? 5 x 6 = 30 The bag contained 30 candy bars.
Part-Whole Model Multiplication & Division Variation #2: Given the whole and the number of parts, find the missing part. 5 children shared a bag of 30 candy bars equally. How many candy bars did each child receive? 30 ÷ 5 = 6 Each child received 6 candy bars.
Part-WholeModel Multiplication & Division Variation #3: Given the whole and one part, find the missing number of parts. A group of children shared a bag of 30 candy bars equally. They received 6 candy bars each. How many children were in the group? 30 ÷ 6 = 5 There were 5 children in the group.
The Comparison Model Multiplication & Division larger quantity ÷ smaller quantity = multiple smaller quantity x multiple = larger quantity larger quantity ÷ multiple = smaller quantity
The Comparison Model Multiplication & Division Variation #1: Given the smaller quantity and the multiple, find the larger quantity. A farmer has 7 cows. He has 5 times as many horses as cows. How many horses does the farmer have? 5 x 7 = 35 The farmer has 35 horses.
The Comparison Model Multiplication & Division Variation #2: Given the larger quantity and the multiple, find the smaller quantity. A farmer has 35 horses. He has 5 times as many horses as cows. How many cows does he have? 35 ÷ 5 = 7 The farmer has 7 cows.
The Comparison Model Multiplication & Division Variation #3: Given two quantities, find the multiple. A farmer has 7 cows and 35 horses. How many times as many horses as cows does he have? 35 ÷ 7 = 5 The farmer has 5 times as many horses as cows.
Example #6 Scott has 4 ties. Frank has twice as many ties as Scott. How many ties does Frank have?
Example #7 Jackhas 4 pieces of bubble gum. Michelle has twice as many pieces of bubble gum than Jack. How many pieces of bubble gum do they have altogether?
Example #8 Sean’sweight is 40 kg. He is 4 times as heavy as his younger cousin Louis. What is Louis’ weight in kilograms?
Example #9 Tiffany has 8 more pencils than Edward. They have 20 pencils altogether. How many pencils does Edward have?
Example #10 The total weight of a soccer ball and 10 golf balls is 1 kg. If the weight of each golf ball is 60 grams, find the weight of the soccer ball.
Example #11 Two bananasand a mango cost $2.00. Two bananas and three mangoes cost $4.50. Find the cost of a mango.
Part-Whole Model Fractions To show a part as a fraction of a whole: Here, the part is of the whole.
Part-Whole ModelFractions means + + , or 3 x
Part-Whole ModelFractions 4 units = 12 1 unit = = 3 3 units = 3 x 3 = 9 There are 9 objects in of the whole.
Part-Whole ModelFractions 3 units = 9 1 unit = = 3 4 units = 4 x 3 = 12 There are 12 objects in the whole set.
Part-Whole ModelFractions Variation #1: Given the whole and the fraction, find the missing part of the fraction. Ricky bought 24 cupcakes. of them were white. How many white cupcakes were there? 3 units = 24 1 unit = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 2 units = 2 x 8 = 16 There were 16 white cupcakes.
Part-Whole ModelFractions Now, find the other part … Ricky bought 24 cupcakes. of them were white. How many cupcakes were not white? 3 units = 24 1 unit = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 There were 8 cupcakes that weren’t white.
Part-Whole ModelFractions Variation #2: Given a part and the related fraction, find whole. Ricky bought some cupcakes. of them were white. If there were 16 white cupcakes, how many cupcakes did Ricky buy in all? 2 units = 16 1 unit = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 3 units = 3 x 8 = 24 Ricky bought 24 cupcakes.
